Watchmen: Music from the Motion Picture

Watchmen: Music from the Motion Picture is the soundtrack album for the 2009 film Watchmen. It includes three Bob Dylan songs: 'Desolation Row', 'The Times They Are a-Changin'', and 'All Along the Watchtower'. The album also features period songs referenced in the original comic, such as Simon and Garfunkel's 'The Sounds of Silence', Nena's '99 Luftballons', and Nat King Cole's 'Unforgettable'.
